Chapter 3 A New Member

Dan Oh and her new friends continue their Journey to the north in search of Elmo. They traveled through many forests as well as rivers to heading to north and take a path that would otherwise be safe from cheol's army. After walked for half a day they decided to take a short break and train Dan Oh with sword and archery techniques.

Each members of the royal entourage agrees to teach Dan Oh fighting techniques and self-defense in turn. The girl must immediately adjust as a special forces in order to protect herself and survive on this planet. Today is the first time that she will receive archery lessons from the prince of Hwon, Woon.

"Take this...." Woon, the prince of Hwon kingdom who has the highest body among the rest of the entourage, makes Dan Oh look very petite when standing beside him.

The prince handed over a bow made of white metal and had a sky blue decoration surrounding it to the inhabitants of the earth. The bow was about a meter and a half long which almost matched Dan Oh's height. Both ends of the bow were pointed and sharp. The petite high school girl also received a collection of arrows placed into a tube made of leather that had a rope.

"Is this my weapon?" asked Dan Oh to the prince of Hwon. The man simply nodded and looked at her expressionlessly.

"The design of a pointy end like this allows me to use this bow as an archer and also use it like the tip of a sword isn't it?" the girl noticed the bow she was holding while flicking through it. There was an eye that seemed to shine brightly on her face. It seemed like the girl has a great admiration for the new weapon she just received, she continued to look at the beautiful bow with a sense of interest and a smile on her lips. The bow gives the charming impression of the combination of the beauty of its design as well as hidden forces that are not easily defeated.

"That's right, this bow previously belonged to my adopted cousin who was killed by a Cheol attack," Woon explained. There was a change in the facial expression in the prince's face when he delivering that sentence. However Dan Oh couldn't guess clearly what's the meaning of the change in facial expression from the prince was at that time. Woon felt a deep sadness when he remembered the original owner of the beautiful bow. He always kept the bow well and carefully after the original owner died.

"So! you're the one who is going to teach me how to do archery?" asked Dan Oh later. Woon just nodded in agreement

The petite girl from the earth is observing Woon with a suspicious gaze from his head to toe. She doubt the quiet man's ability. She doubt that this expressionless man is going to able to teach her well when it come to archery. Woon snatches the bow from Dan Oh's hand and retrieves one arrow taken from the leather tube which Dan Oh has placed on her back. Sang gadis SMA menalikan tabung itu pada kedua tali ranselnya. The high schooler girl placed the tube on both straps of her backpack. So that the tube can stick perfectly with the backpack that Dan Oh always carries on her back wherever she goes durung her time on this planet.

"You have to focus on your goal and then pull a strong arrow like this" Woon ignored the little girl's contemptuous stare that degraded his abilities. He placed the middle of the bow on a parallel position to his shoulders then placed an arrow on the bow and aimed at a red apple that was on top of a high tree.

"Swiiiiiiiiiing....... Jlebb!!" The sound of an arrow gliding perfectly, pierced through the apple that was on top of the tree and made it fall to the ground. Prince Woon made the archery activity look so easy for him. Dan Oh clapped cheerfully when she saw the prince's amazing action. Her lips were unable to stop opened because of her admiration toward the prince ability. The arrow that hit the apple slowly fade away in an instan and dissapears, dropping the hollowed-out Apple which rolling to the ground.

"Oh the arrow is disappeared!" commented Dan Oh who couldn't stop admiring the extraordinary things that had begun to happen before her eyes since her arrival to this dimension.

"Well! I think I also can do it!" said Dan Oh excitedly. Woon is able to do it so easily, the girl is sure that she would able to do the same just like him. She folded both her sleeves to simplify her hand movements. Ah no.... She is actually just deliberately folded her short sleeves and trying to look cool. She show her arm muscles that were not stocky at all. The girl took a bow from the prince's hand and grabbed the arrow that was on his back. No matter how she was quite skilled in martial arts, this kind of archery activity wouldn't be a difficult thing for her, wouldn't it?

"Ooh! The number of arrows here has not been decreased at all!" she said between surprised and amused to see the number of arrows on her back. One other thing that amazed her just happened again now. Everything here seemed so magical in her eyes.

"That's true, these bows and arrows were made by the fairy nation of Sung kingdom. No matter how much you used it, this arrow will never diminish and run out of number." Woon explained it in a calm tone of voice.

"Daebak, it's so cool!" said the earth girl being amazed and express it in the loud voice which is sounded in stark contrast to the way Prince has talked.

"Well... I have to focus and pull it out strongly, right?" Dan Oh repeats Woon's instruction and mimics the prince's pose while doing archery. She is narrowing her eyes between her bows and aimed at an apple that was on top of the tree. The girl pulled the arrow she was holding and then released it with certainty.

"swiing" Dan Oh's arrow did not slide up the tree at all and only fell slowly to the ground not far away from where her feet were beached. Dan Oh looked at the arrow that had fallen not far from her feet with a flat expression. It was as if there was nothing wrong with her action. She seem so casual.

"cchhh! There's something wrong with that arrow. Is it too heavy?" she said flatly try to cover up her embarrassment.

Yes, she is really embarrassed now. The girl had posed as much as action like a professional archer and pretended to fold her sleeves to look cool. He was so confident that he could shoot as good as Woon and had been arrogant. But she was unable to make the arrow move even only a half from the target distance.

"Hey stupid girl! Are you trying to shoot your feet?" asked Woon annoyedly. The girl had shown off so much strange behavior yet was unable to learn properly from him. Obviously this made the prince become upset.

"Is there a ballast in this arrow until it can fall like that?" she ignored the prince and was still preoccupied with her pretense action.

Dan Oh crouched down and took the arrow near her feet. She twisted her arrows regardless of Woon's words. The prince of the strongest kingdom on the Mirac planet sighed with annoyance while scratching his eyebrows with his index finger when he watch Dan Oh's behavior.

"You're very clever at hiding your mistakes huh," Woon muttered softly. Dan Oh got up from her position and looked straightly at Woon. The girl has to raise her head about 45° in order to be able to stare directly at the man's face in front of her. She is glaring at him intentsly.

"What do you mean by my mistake?" she protested unwillingly to accept a scathing comment from the prince.

"I don't know," said the prince briefly and flatly. He takes his eyes off Dan Oh, not interested in making eye contact with the little girl before him. The girl continued to glare at him with a sharp look. He doesn't want to get in argument with this catty petite girl infront of him.

Meanwhile the other four members of the entourage rested in a place which is not far away from the two people whose feuding. Ryu just jumped from the top of a tree and holding an apple in his hand. The cheerful man ate his apple and walked up to the other three members of the entourage.

"It seems like since Eun Dan Oh's arrival, the prince has started to talking more" Ryu spoke with a mouth full of apples. As the prince's childhood friend, Ryu can read and understand the changes in Woon's expression and behavior. The four of them observe Dan Oh and Woon while sitting on the grass not far from where the two are.

"true... Woon seems to be getting interested again with the things around him," said Princess Siera with a meaningful smile and watching the expression of her beloved brother.

"Since the incident that happened to him at that time, the prince was more often become silent and did not talked much anymore," Key chimed in.

"You're right" Princess Siera sounded sad as she said it. She remembers the sad thing that had happened to her brother, the thing that made everything become worse for prince Woon.

"Will the arrival of that chatty girl be able to make the Prince return to who he was again? What do you think princess? " Gwi asked the princess with her bass voice that always sounded so sexy

He brought his head closer to Siera while propping up his head with his right hand. The werewolf looked at the princess intently through his wolf's round eyes. Gwi had always been fascinated by the beauty and aura emitted by the princess, he was unaware that he had made the distance between the two of them become too close.

"Do you think so?" the princess turned to him and asked another question to answer his question.

Siera raised the right end of her lips and smiled when she saw Gwi's facial expression before her. The man always looked at her with a meaningful gaze that she was already understand the meaning behind it. But all this time the princess never put an attention toward hia feelings. She only looked at the man as her best friend and her loyal bodyguard. Siera fixed her gaze at Gwi's face with her beautiful eyes.

"tha...That's right my princess" Being stared by the princess intense gaze into his eyes on the extremelly close distance, Gwi felt nervous and raised his head.

He realized that the distance between the two of them was too close. Gwi felt clumsy when looking at Siera's thin smile that looked cynical yet dazzling in his eyes. He let out a long sigh and raised his body then standing like an army before his commander. Siera simply stared at him silently, then turned hed face away while combing her hair with her lentic fingers

Meanwhile Key who was observing her two childhood companions smiled in silence. She had been watching the two of them for a long time. Gwi always acted like a loyal wolf toward Siera. The commander would always do whatever the princess wanted. Siera was like a tamer who had subdued the wild werewolf.

Suddenly there was an apple that appeared before her face, it was Ryu. The junior guard had just given the apple he had picked on top of the tree to his female senior commander. Key turned her head and found that Ryu is showing his cheerful smile at her. The woman thanked Ryu and accepted the apple shyly. Her face just become red.

"There is something approaching us!" said Gwi quietly to his friends, the werewolf had the sharpest smell and hearing among his entourage. His facial expression instantly turned to alert as he sensed a threat approaching his entourage's place.

Siera, Ryu and Key immediately stood up from their seats and are on getting on standby with their respective weapons. Woon also began to feel a horde approaching them, he take out both swords from the sheath and become alert. Dan Oh the tiny girl stood upright while holding his bow tightly with both of her hands.

"That's it is!! Crystal mondwat!" suddenly a large number of Cheol troops appeared and were ready to attack them.

"Cih, I forgot to put up a shield to covering its aura," muttered Woon annoyed at the mistake he made. He immediately approached Dan Oh and stood right before her. The man pushed the girl's slowly to be standing right behind him then stretched out his arms to protect the earth girl and shielding her with his body.

"We have to take it, attack them!!!!" shouted the commander of Cheol's army. There are 100 troops on the monster group.

"Don't stay away from me and shut up" the prince warned Dan Oh. The girl nodded slowly and looked so serius right now.

There was a physical stir between Cheol's army and the royal entourage. The Cheols' attack is focused on Dan Oh who carries the mondwat crystal but so far Woon and his comrades-in-arms are still able to dispel them. In an instant Cheol's army had been defeated. But they had not had a time to breathe a sigh of relief, there are reappearing of another Cheol army with a number that was no less than before. Each of the royal troops would have to face at least twenty Cheol troops at once to be able to win over them.

Woon fights with Cheol's army and continues to ensure that the disgusting creatures won't be able to touch Dan Oh while the other four comrades fight elsewhere that are not so far away but still separated from the two. The five fighters showed distinctive fighting styles that were different from one and another.

Ryu fought with an agile and fast movements, he would swinging his axe in all directions powerfully and even occasionally climb trees and deliver air strikes to the Cheol monster. Key looked so strong when she threw her giant boomerang that would instantly split Cheol's body horizontally into two pieces

Gwi didn't look like a person who is fighting, he only moved his sharp fan blade lightly but his movements were deadly. The occasional werewolf focused his unarmed physical attacks by utilizing his powerful fists and sharp claws. The strength of his hand was able to easily break his opponent's bones.

Siera the noble princess looked like she was dancing, her attack movements were so graceful but could easily subvert the opponent. The way she move both of her sharp metal slabs as the weapon seems so magnificent and charming. Every now and then she uses a high-leg kick to take down her opponent.

The prince fought against Cheol's army with a fast and accurate movements. In an instant he was able to drop five of them in one strike of his two swords. There were three more Cheol monster whose were about to attack him from the front. Woon crossed his two swords at one of the Cheols before him then stabbed the other two monster on his right and left sides. But suddenly there was one Cheol monster carrying an axe and was about to attack Woon from behind. Woon is not yet aware of the attack that stalks him, his two swords are still stuck to the Cheol monster who have not fully fallen before him.

"Prince Woon!" cried Dan Oh out loud when she saw the Cheol monster running up to Woon by raising his axe aloft. Dan Oh immediately run over the Cheol with her hands holding the bow tightly.

"Pakk!!!" a loud sound was heard from a large axe hitting on Dan Oh's metal bow. The tip of the axe was right three centi in front of Dan Oh's eyes and looked shiny as it reflected his sharpness exposed to the sun.

The little girl kicked the Cheol hardly and pointed the end of her bow at the terrifying creature in front of her with all her might. Her attack tore through Cheol's skin and provided deeply, long wounds. One Cheol has fallen to the ground after received her deadly attack.

Woon looked back in panic and saw Dan Oh had just managed to defeat one Cheol monster. Dan Oh smiled happily and showed the prince her twinkle of bright face. She felt so proud to have proven her fighting ability as a karate black belt holder to Mirac's planetary prince. But the man didn't seem happy with that.

He looked at Dan Oh with a serious expression filled with a lot of meaning. Suddenly Woon's attention turned to the reflection of a shiny objects from a distance. Dan Oh is unaware that she is going to get shot by an arrow by the other Cheol monster. Woon realized that, the man immediately panicked. His memories suddenly return to the tragic events that befell him on eleven years ago.
